Singapore recently garnered acclaim for its <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/gardens-by-the-bay/" target="_blank">Gardens by the Bay</a> and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/lotus-shaped-singapore-artmuseum-collects-rain-and-light/" target="_blank">Marina Bay Resort</a> projects, but it will be soon recognized for a new landmark tower designed by <a href="https://www.som.com/project" target="_blank">Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill</a>. The Tanjong Pagar Centre will top out at 290 meters (951 feet), making it the tallest building in Singapore. The mixed-use, 64-story tower will be located on the same block as the Tanjong Pagar City Park and it will feature green building strategies, quick access to the CBD and an existing MRT station right underneath it.
